One of our members was working on this spec some time ago (2001),
perhaps a good integration target with H-Anim for such a platform or 
communication layer: HumanML
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=humanmarkup

it does mention kinesthetics in the overview but I am really not sure 
where it has been adopted.
?
